You are investigating a collision between three boats on a lake. You know the mass of each boat, aswell as their initial velocities. Boat A: Mass: 451kg, Initial Velocity: 8x̂ Boat B: Mass 512kg, Intial Velocity: 2x̂-6ŷ Boat C: Mass 575kg, Intial Velocity: ? Intial Velocities given in m/s. After the collision, the GPS devices on boats A and B agree that the velocity was (−3 m/s)x̂ +(4 m/s)ŷ. Unfortunately, the captain of boat C claims their GPS tracker was destroyed in thecollision. What was the velocity of boat C just before the collision?
Two cars A and B are heading forward. The velocity of A and B are 3,000 cm/s and 2,000 cm/s respectively. If their masses are same as 9.0*10^5 g, (a) find out their initial momentum, (b) if they have an accident and then the velocity of the B is 28 m/s, find out velocity of A. (c) Final momentum of each car.
2. A 40 kg astronaut is floating in space, initially motionless in the reference frame of her nearby space ship. She has in her possession two 5 kg oxygen canisters. She suddenly notices a small 4 kg asteroid heading straight for her at a speed of 5 m/s. Wanting to avoid a collision she hurls one of the two canisters as hard as she can (3 m/s relative to her frame just before the throw) at the asteroid. The canister hits the asteroid dead on and sticks to it. A) After she throws the canister, what is her velocity relative to the space ship? B) After the canister sticks to the asteroid, what is the asteroid's velocity relative to the ship? C) She then hurls the second canister as hard as she can (3 m/s relative to her frame just before the throw), which again hits the asteroid dead on and sticks to it. What is her velocity relative to the space ship now? D) What is the asteroid's velocity now relative to the ship? Have her actions managed to avoid an impending collision between her and…
A pitcher claims he can throw a 0.142-kg baseball with as much momentum as a 2.88-g bullet moving with a speed of 1.50 ✕ 103 m/s. (a) What must the baseball's speed be if the pitcher's claim is valid?

2) A 100 g cart initially moving at +0.5 m/s collides inelastically with a stationary 180 g cart. The two carts stick together after the collision and move as one. a) Using the fact that total momentum is conserved, calculate the final velocity of the two carts (which are magnetically attached to each other) after the collision. (Start this by first calculating the total momentum, which initially is simply the momentum of the 100g cart.) b) Calculate the total initial kinetic energy. (This is the sum of the initial kinetic energies of both carts.) c) Calculate the total final kinetic energy. d) Calculate the change in the total kinetic energy as a result of the collision.

A bomb at rest shatters into 3 chunks upon detonation. 2 chunks of equal mass (m) and the same magnitude of momentum (mv) move along the positive x-axis and positive y-axis, as shown in the diagram above. Identify the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the third chunk with a mass 4 times larger (4m) as the other 2 chunks. O A (V/4)/2 « OB. 2v 3 OC. 2v 亭。 3 O D. 2v O .
1. In beta decay, an atomic nucleus emits an electron as it turns into another type of nucleus. A 2¹⁰Bi nucleus at rest decays to 210Po. Suppose the emitted electron moves to the right with momentum 5.60 x 10-22 kg m/s. The 210Po nucleus, with mass 3.50 x 10-25 kg, recoils to the left at a speed of 1.14 x 10³ m/s. Momentum conservation requires that a second particle, called an antineutrino, must also be emitted. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the antineutrino's momentum. 210PO 210Bi Before After e ?
